is iv mighty contrast to the canal message of mr vtitkori in which nothing stood out except the wilson timidity that was the worst thins about wr milson's canal utterance its one appeal was to cowardice ::.â€¢â– one argument fear we must give england her way and though the v , be wrong we must pay for the canal those 400,000,000 aye must pay tho annual 30,000,000 required 10 maintain it and then perforce we atasi tamely operate it m accordance with england's will and under england's dominating thumb why because â€” according to the hair-hung gho shaken mr wilson we are afraid of england afraid of japan afraid of mexico afraid of everybody after so abject an utterance from its while house it needed such a speech as speaker clark's to restore the country's self-respect party is near death in these washington canal days you have 110 trouble m determining a man's politics you can pick out the republicans by their smiles mr wilson m his canal cowardices is killing his party one of the greater democrats of the country put the business into so small a compass that you might tuck it away m a thimble said he this canai quosiion is of such patriotic importance that it overshadows all minor issues it is bringing the republicans and the progressive ki gether and making them forget their smaller differences m the face of a threatened danger to their country the moment the progressives ar/d the republicans are united the democrats are defeated also this united party wh not only be made up of republicans and progressives but with them will be every democrat who considers patriotism of more importance than patronage the democrats who vote for the repeal of the free toils measure are voting their country into disgrace and their party out of power more they are voting their patronage away for there will be very little patronage for democrats once the republicans are given vic tory the democratic party can only be saved by abandoning this un democratic and un-american surrender of the canal to england and fall ing m line with the patriotic sentiment of the people at large nations integrity at stake not only are the republicans m a quiver of delight but party influences such as the aged yet agile ex-speaker cannon â€” here giving advice and showing the republican youngsters how to trap and destroy democrats betray their shining satisfaction m their eyes the question with these is wiiich should be the better for the republicans â€” to so sufficiently vote witli mr wilson as to give his canal-english victory â€” or by uniting a solid republican support to the clark underwood democrats save the integrity of the canal and the self respect of the country m the frightened face of mr wilson and all that england and the railroads can do said a repub lican senator to permit mr wilson to surrender the canal to the english should and would mean the tearing to pieces of the democratic party that one way to bring the republicans into power on the other hand we the republicans to unitedly fight mr wilson and save the canal the peo ple are intelligent enough to give them credit for it also giving the le publicans credit for thus defeating the 1 and on-patriotic poli cies of mr wilson would take the form 01 giving them congress this pali and the white house m 1916 we would be rid of democrats m our his places for a decade and more to come the canal cowardice of mr wilson is offensive to what democrats are voting with him he put his anxiety to give way to england on the grotu ' that he was afraid his supporters having their manhood

washington march 31 bunker hill was declared a failure york town a mistake and this country relegated to its original position as a province of the british crown by a house majority of eighi 5 six to-day england should now consider and doubtless will what reward is due from her to the timid knee-bending president wilson in the debate which preceded this national disgrace the champ .. rle speech was the master-effort whether or no it convinced congress si will at i.epsi convince the country clear strong ho;i toll of c it v is iv mighty contrast to the canal message of mr vtitkori in which nothing stood out except the wilson timidity that was the worst thins about wr milson's canal utterance its one appeal was to cowardice ::.â€¢â– one argument fear we must give england her way and though the v , be wrong we must pay for the canal those 400,000,000 aye must pay tho annual 30,000,000 required 10 maintain it and then perforce we atasi tamely operate it m accordance with england's will and under england's dominating thumb why because â€” according to the hair-hung gho shaken mr wilson we are afraid of england afraid of japan afraid of mexico afraid of everybody after so abject an utterance from its while house it needed such a speech as speaker clark's to restore the country's self-respect party is near death in these washington canal days you have 110 trouble m determining a man's politics you can pick out the republicans by their smiles mr wilson m his canal cowardices is killing his party one of the greater democrats of the country put the business into so small a

repeal of the free toils measure are voting their country into disgrace and their party out of power more they are voting their patronage away for there will be very little patronage for democrats once the republicans are given vic tory the democratic party can only be saved by abandoning this un democratic and un-american surrender of the canal to england and fall ing m line with the patriotic sentiment of the people at large nations integrity at stake not only are the republicans m a quiver of delight but party influences such as the aged yet agile ex-speaker cannon â€” here giving advice and showing the republican youngsters how to trap and destroy democrats betray their shining satisfaction m their eyes the question with these is wiiich should be the better for the republicans â€” to so sufficiently vote witli mr wilson as to give his canal-english victory â€” or by uniting a solid republican support to the clark underwood democrats save the integrity of the canal and the self respect of the country m the frightened face of mr wilson and all that england and the railroads can do said a repub lican senator to permit mr wilson to surrender the canal to the english should and would mean the tearing to pieces of the democratic party that one way to bring the republicans into power on the other hand we the republicans to unitedly fight mr wilson and save the canal the peo
